“How do we take a city that is the center of the power of America and turn it into a city, when you enter it, everyone sees faith and sees God?” the mayor said during Thursday’s confab, held at Columbia University’s Teachers College. “Our challenge is not economics. Our challenge is not finance. Our challenge is faith. People have lost their faith.” (Daily News)

This is Christian, and Abrahamic religion exceptionalism. Not every religion believes in God. 

How do you celebrate diversity and then try to impose one type of religion and conveniently forget the freedom of religion? How do you forget America isn’t a theocracy? If you want to be a religious leader, maybe switch professions.

Adams is a democrat in name only, he switched parties to be mayor. He blathers to gather attention in a culture war like a Republican, while ignoring policy and good governance. He’s not bringing the city together. 

If he wants to be an ethical leader, how about tightening up his own administration, and stop appointing family members, that violate ethics. His playbook is Trump, false piety, lying, nepotism, always trying to break the rules, without a vision beyond trashing government and enriching himself and friends.
